I have a B&M oil cooler with integral fan that measures 12 x 9 inches. I'm debating whether to lie it flat on the floor (where the spare tire normally goes) as Dan Thompson did with his cooler, or whether to stand it up right behind the front bumper.
The flat installation is simpler - I just drill some holes in the floor and mount the cooler on four shock mounts. The upright installation will require making a pair of brackets that run vertical from the floor and then forward to the front of the car. However, the upright installation will let me run the fan in the "correct" direction - its a puller fan - and would seem to capture ram air from the cutout in the front bumper and valence better. I'm leaning toward the flat installation, but would be interested in hearing the collective wisdom of this board. Any opinions one way or the other? ----Bill |
